First let’s do iOS, since it has arguably the most noteworthy update: Retina support for the new iPad. Those with the third generation iPad should see a significant improvement in image quality, as well as in the actual app: the interface and text are also more crisp. Adobe says “it was no easy task to get such a complex app like Photoshop Touch to work with the Retina display” so that’s probably why the update took so long to arrive.

The iPad aside, Photoshop Touch for iOS can now work with print-resolution images up to 12 megapixels in size, with up to 16 full-size layers in a single file. The ability to work with multiple layers is nothing new, but at such a high resolution, it’s quite the feat. The default resolution is now 4.2 megapixels with 10 layers. For Android, the maximum resolution has been increased to 2048 x 2048 pixels, although the default is still 1600 x 1600 pixels.

Here’s what’s left from the iOS app changelog:

Two new languages: Russian and Brazilian Portuguese.

Two new Effects: Shred and Colorize.

Smoother animation and scrolling in the organizer, tutorial browser, and file picker.
